Amanera
Rio San Juan, Dominican Republic

Perched on a cliff above Playa Grande’s golden sands, Amanera is an idyllic Dominican retreat with a lush rainforest backdrop, airy ocean view accommodations, and exquisite culinary offerings. The main all-day restaurant, Casa Grande, serves Caribbean inspired cuisine in an open-sided setting overlooking the cliffs. The dinner menu offers curated courses focusing on the water, the land, and the farmlands, as well as a course of familiar classics. Signature dishes like tuna ceviche, Rio San Juan oysters, and pork solomillo showcase the region’s fresh, local ingredients. Desserts such as tropical crème brûlée and passion fruit profiterole add a delightful touch of island sweetness. Complete your meal with Mamajuana, a local drink made from rum, red wine, and honey said to promote wellbeing and vitality. Stay for three nights and receive an extra night complimentary, plus additional inclusions like daily afternoon tea, scheduled wellness classes, scheduled children’s activities, and more.

Kimpton Mas Olas Resort and Spa
Baja Sur California, Mexico

An escape that endeavors to capture the beauty of the Baja Peninsula at every turn, Kimpton Mas Olas Resort and Spa is a stay that embraces and celebrates the culture it calls home. With wellness at the forefront of the experience here, it’s no surprise that the utmost care is taken with the onsite culinary offerings—after all, wellness comes from within. Three signature restaurants work to highlight the region’s natural bounty, each showcasing a different aspect of Baja’s authentic culinary traditions. Kahal focuses on seafood, with a stunning oceanfront setting and fresh, seasonal menus. Botánica, nestled in the resort’s organic garden, focuses on the earth, with freshly farmed vegetables and wood-fired pizzas served up in an al fresco setting. For a taste of more casual Mexican cuisine, pull up a chair at Centro, a two-story social hub plating up beloved Baja classics and inventive dishes from a poolside perch.

Parco San Marco Lifestyle Beach Resort
Cima, Italy

For a luxurious taste of northern Italy, look no further than Parco San Marco Lifestyle Beach Resort, nestled on the shores of Lake Lugano. Food isn’t an afterthought here, with three bars and six restaurants right onsite, ranging from casual beachside dining to one-of-a-kind gastro-creations. Start your day with a breakfast buffet at the retro-chic Ristorante La Veranda, where the views are as delightful as the cuisine. For dinner, dress up and indulge in gourmet creations at La Musa Restaurant & Rooftop Terrace, where every dish is a masterpiece. Wine enthusiasts will revel in the 200-year-old La Cava, an intimate wine cellar perfect for savoring rare vintages. During the warmer months, the La Masseria Beach Terrace & Grill serves up freshly grilled fish and dry-aged meats with breathtaking lakeside views (you can even take a cooking class here if you’re interested in this style of cooking). Whether you’re a foodie or simply seeking a luxe getaway, Parco San Marco does not disappoint.

The Marylebone
London, United Kingdom

A London hotel that has it all, The Marylebone boasts thoughtful amenities, an excellent location, and delectable onsite dining. Set just off the charmingly European cobblestones of Marylebone Lane, onsite restaurant 108 Brasserie brings a touch of old-school charm to the modern European dining experience. The all-day dining menu features British classics alongside international cuisines like Italian pasta and Thai curry. Dedicated vegetarian and vegan menus ensure every diner can delight in the offerings here, and special menus like Saturday brunch and Sunday Roasts are a particular treat. For bespoke libations, settle into a seat at The Cocktail Bar. The space is the perfect place for a drink year-round, with a breezy terrace for warmer months, cozy fireplaces for cooler weather, and a range of seasonally-inspired cocktails to match the moment.

Take Me There

The Standard Maldives
Huruvalhi, Maldives

For a taste of tropical luxury, look no further than The Standard, Maldives, where days are spent relaxing in overwater or beachfront villas, exploring the natural beauty of the island, and dining on a bounty of local and international flavors. The culinary journey begins at Kula, the vibrant all-day dining venue, where themed buffets take you from India to Mexico, featuring fresh local seafood and Mediterranean delights, plus live cooking stations that bring your favorite dishes to life right. For a celebration of Maldivian cuisine, head to Guduguda, the overwater restaurant where traditional flavors are paired with stunning ocean views. If you’re in the mood for something more casual, the BBQ Shak on the beach serves up sizzling meats and fresh catches of the day. And when you’re in the mood to party, Beru Bar has the largest disco ball in Maldives, a see-through dance floor perched above the ocean, and a menu of classic and new-wave sashimi, nigiri, maki and more so you can eat before you bust a move. If you’re a certified diver, don’t miss this exclusive offer, which nets you daily dives (and even more the longer you stay), plus round-trip seaplane rides for two, dive equipment, and a full board meal plan for you to enjoy.
